The hanging Geranium should be pruned at the end of summer, and the sick and withered leaves, weak branches and leaves, and flowers and branches with wrong direction should be pruned to prevent them from affecting the development of new branches and leaves in autumn. When pruning geranium, we should pay special attention not to cut the stem nodes. At the same time, we should prune according to the height of the whole plant in proportion to ensure the beauty after pruning.
1. Time: Geranium can grow more new branches and leaves by topping. When Geranium seedlings grow 5-6 leaves, it's time to top them. It is usually spring or autumn to top the adult Geranium.
2. Tools: use scissors
3. Pruning: first, determine the ideal top position of geranium, and look for the position from top to bottom. It's better to plant on the main stem and lateral branches and leaves, with a height of about 4cm. It's more important to pay attention not to be too long when topping seedlings. You can cut off the top of the geranium and put it in a cool and airy place.
4. Maintenance: the geranium after topping is fragile. Remember not to place it in the direct sunlight, avoid infection of the incision, and put it in the ventilated place until the incision recovers. After the incision is dry, it can be watered and fertilized.
Hanging Pelargonium and erect Pelargonium need to spend a long summer dormancy period, so the best pruning time is the end of summer period, when Pelargonium ends dormancy period and starts a new round of development, at this time pruning can make Pelargonium grow better and more.
